Toto Winner is the regulated, well-known betting product in Israel, and precisely because of that, few people ever look closely at the numbers behind it. This page explains how the odds are set, exactly what's deducted before money returns to players, and why a ticket with many selections looks profitable but is actually the most expensive kind of bet.

Odds of 2.00 translate to an implied probability of 50%. If you add up the implied probabilities of all outcomes in a bet, you'll find they exceed 100% — that surplus is the margin, the equivalent of the house edge in a casino. It's deducted from every ticket, even winning ones.
On a ticket with several selections, the margin compounds with every choice. Three selections with a small margin each create a hidden cost far larger than a single bet — that's why combined tickets feel "profitable" because of the high odds, but they're actually the bet with the lowest expected value.

Toto and Mifal HaPayis operate under license, while the activity of foreign betting sites is an entirely different matter — a detailed explanation is on the gambling in Israel page. Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice.
In Toto you bet against odds set in advance. In poker you play against other players, while the house takes a service fee and doesn't play against you — so improving your decisions translates into results. Full comparisons: lottery vs. poker, poker vs. casino, and ClubGG Israel.
